She had been shot multiple times in the upper body and head. Reports indicate that she had just placed her Bible on a chair and donned her hat, preparing to leave for church, when gunmen travelling in a motor car attacked.

A former banker and budding law student, Graham-Dolly was killed at her Montego Bay home.

Described by her church family as a dedicated and vibrant member, she was deeply involved in the St. James Parish Church, where her love for music, particularly the steel pan, was well known.

“She always wore broad-brimmed hats to church and swayed to the music. She was a solid member,” said church member Lisa Watt in a Jamaica Gleaner report.

Watt noted Graham-Dolly’s commitment to her faith and family, having raised her only child within the church.

A former employee of Victoria Mutual, Sagicor Bank, and Pan Caribbean Financial Services Ltd., Graham-Dolly was celebrated for her professionalism and achievements, including being named Pan Caribbean’s Team Member of the Year in 2009.
